Filmshift Film Festival and Screenplay Contest

The Filmshift Film Festival and screenplay competition is now accepting entries from both professional and Student filmmakers to screen in Somerville, Brookline, and Sudbury. The festival runs from October 3-9th, 2010. To submit your work and for more information, check out: http://www.filmshift.org

Twenty percent of the festival’s gross ticket sales will be donated evenly to 2 non-profit groups: Christopher’s Haven (a local foundation that supports kids with cancer and their families,) and Metrowest Family Theater (an inclusive community theater group).

The FilmShift Festival presents films from across the nation, that are produced independently and on the local level. Our goal is to support films of all kinds but highlight films that use predominantly small, local, or “Green” businesses.

Our prize sponsors are, quite simply, the giants of the independent production world. Somerville's own, POWDERHOUSE PRODUCTIONS, FINAL DRAFT, Harmonix's BEATLES ROCK BAND, INKTIP, JUNGLE SOFTWARE budgeting, SCRIPT P.I.M.P, ATOMIC, BUNCH/CASSEDAY, and WOODEN NICKEL LIGHTING, have donated products or discounts to Filmshift as prizes for our filmmakers. Because of their generosity, Filmshift offers some of the best prizes of any festival out there. We look forward to viewing your hard work!
